Measurement scheme for high and low material levels in flour silos

Thread Content

Generally, four measurement methods are used: 1. Capacitive level gauges, which have relatively low production costs, but their sensitivity tends to decrease over time. 2. Rotary level gauges have relatively high production costs due to the presence of motors inside; special attention is required to ensure the sealing of the connection parts. German brand MOLLOTE uses a triple-layer double-bearing design, which should ensure reliable performance throughout its lifespan. 3. The rod-type level gauge is similar to the anti-rotation type; its cost is slightly lower than that of the anti-rotation type, and it is particularly suitable for measuring materials with a low bulk density. 4. Diaphragm level switch: Personally, if cost savings are not a concern, it is best to use diaphragm level gauges for detecting blockages. Feel free to discuss or share your opinions
